What about the platform module? platform.architecture() should do it. <http://docs.python.org/lib/module-platform.html> <http://docs.python.org/lib/node442.html#l2h-3157> >>> import platform >>> platform.architecture() ('32bit', '') Note that it analyzes an executable (defaulting to the python interpreter binary), rather than looking in /proc or something. You might want to do something like that instead. I guess looking at the python binary is more accurate on a hybrid 32-bit/64-bit system though.. -- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
